I had a similar question about the 135i... I've had three three series (two e46) and an X3, and am now looking at a 135i that is a good value. I liked the 1-series much more than the new 3-series, but I actually would almost prefer the 128 because honestly, the turbo scares me a little -- I usually drive my BMWs to well over 100k. Thumper, any concerns in that area?

Also, just curious, but Aj330, did you buy that 128 in Omaha that was on Ebay a few weeks ago, black manual transmission? Had that one in my watch list for a while.
